When Spud Webb won the NBA Dunk Contest in 1986, it changed the narrative for short basketball players around the world. For the first time in the history of the NBA, a guard under six feet tall was considered as the best dunker. Now, go ahead 20 years, and his influence can still be seen today. In 2006, the [...]

Kobe announced on Facebook yesterday that he was going to make a big announcement at 21:30 Eastern Time at the Sports Spectacular 2013 gala. Naturally, this caused a whirlwind of rumours, ranging from “is he going to request a trade” to my personal favorite, “is he announcing that Chris Paul [...]
Tracy McGrady plays Conference Finals minutes…and double-dribbles
Even when the Spurs blow a team out (like they did tonight), there is still a reason to stick around and watch them play because they have a seven time all-star coming off their bench, who is working his way towards his first ever championship, even though he is way beyond his prime. I’m talking [...]

Paws-itively Baller
This video clip may be dated to 2009, but it’s a serious throwback. I mean, just look at those short-shorts and high-socks… I can’t hate though, because that man seems like a great basketball coach. He is clearly doing something right because this black-lab baller has some serious handles and a thunderous go-to dunk. Pay attention to the greying muzzle – ring a bell for any other [...]
J.R. Smith and Rihanna are beefing on Instagram like grown adults
The Knicks may only be two wins away from making the Eastern Conference Finals, but they’ve been terrible in these Playoffs. Carmelo’s FG% is way down to 39.5%, and their star off the bench J.R. Smith has been putting up 14.2 points per game on a miserable 33.8% FG. In fact, J.R. has been so bad, that [...]
